What’s coming, by descending order of annoyance: some bag colors are still wrong, rating a bag doesn’t feel satisfying at all, and I should probably add a live timer and temperature settings. Send me your grievances. The nice thing about a side project is that I’ll absolutely fix the colors first.

In build 9 (a serious app: it has build numbers) I simplified the TastePad, again, redesigned the New Bag flow, improved roasters’ colors, and added roast levels. If a roaster is missing, it’s either bad coffee or I forgot. Tap Feedback in the app and I’ll fix it at the next nap.

Just found the ideal side table to casually leave my perfectly aligned set of two coffee mugs and vintage magazines. www.standardequipment.ca/product/3075...
A minimalist gray cubic side table or storage unit with two small white cups on top and a small white incense holder. The cube has an open front with a shelf containing a magazine and a small book. The design features clean lines and a modern aesthetic with visible connection points at the corners.A row of five modular cube storage units in different colors: gray, white, orange, yellow, and blue. Each cube has the same minimalist design with open fronts and a shelf inside. The cubes are made of metal with visible edge detailing, showcasing a cohesive contemporary furniture collection.

New Thermomix! Noise and UI responsiveness were the biggest issues, so that looks promising. A bit sad they got rid of the physical dial. I’m going to wait for other colors, this one is too sci-fi. www.vorwerk.com/gb/en/thermo...

Love this new icon font, with variable weight, optical size and roundness typotheque.com/blog/zed-icons-for-communication-beyond-language (via @arun.is)

This icon weight mismatch in the new Gmail iOS app stresses me out a bit 😅

Seems like Garmin doesn’t test updates before deploying them to users. Also, a blue triangle, really? What about some guidance on how to fix the crash instead?

I thought Porsche started the full-width taillight trend (die Heckblende in German) with the 911 in the 70's. Turns out Dodge already had them in 1966.

Yeah it could be less boxy for sure. There is something that I really like about this design though, it just feels a bit too faux-retro. Re: EV6, it looks great from the side! I do find the pinched front fascia a bit weird.

Love the mix of usability and minimal aesthetic in this German coffee machine. The right way to make an interface without a touchscreen: satisfying physical dial, simple navigation, colorful icons.

You think a thin long screen won’t help? The left and right edge of my digital cluster are hidden by the wheel and that’s annoying. Older Renaults like the Twingo had a thing digital speedometer and it wasn’t bad, although a bit close to the center probably.

Really like that you can change the weight of separators in Craft 👌

Tell us more! This is the UI of the new Renault 5. Contrast is definitely better, but the buttons look quite small, and the navigation feels heavy.

This infotainment UI for a French car gives me peak pre-iPhone vibes. If your goal is visual noise, the Christmas wrapping paper background is perfect – less so when you need to use the buttons while driving.

Been using Claude for a few weeks and its splitscreen UI with live preview is brilliant. Finally a chatbot that feels like an actual collaborating experience.

Screenshot quoting the article: “That the company ultimately profiting from the sale is one of the largest retailers in the world makes the whole enterprise a bit off-putting — an empire built on fast, largely low-quality products that look great in photos but come from faceless companies that manufacture mountains of crap, much of which will eventually end up in a landfill.”

The Mac OS Control Panel by Susan Kare is such a remarkable UI. It was designed in 1984 without any text labels and fits in only 315x158 pixels.

Finally, I bought a precision batter dispenser, and before turning 40. My life is close to complete.

Just tried the genAI playground on iOS, and I’m pretty sure the prompt was: “What if the dog from Up was human?”

We didn’t win the popular vote, but we can be #1 on the App Store 🙃
